"Damn my head, did anyone get the number of the bus that hit me?" … … …
so I am alone again. What just happened? Oh yeah. I got another chance. Let's start with the basics.
Where am I? A quick look around tells me that I'm in my old room at my parents' house, and I must not be very old as my bed is still at full height. How old was I when I had it reduced the first time? 7 or 8 I think it was? So I can't be much more than the 6 years. Well, for nothing but up and running.
Well the first thing I need to figure out is how to teleport around. Without that ability, I find it difficult to get anywhere. Let's see, in order to have peace to work on it, I'll have to find a place where I can be by myself and do some experiments. But first it's breakfast that has to be done. Down the slippery ladder without falling and hitting me, and then I just have to have my back crunched.... wait, that's not necessary yet. I didn't get that injury until I was 10, so my back hasn't collapsed yet.
Oops? Why is there a bag by the door? As far as I remember, I had a blue bag when I was little and this one is jet black. Wonder what it's doing here and who owns it. Maybe there is something in it I can use to find out. The zip at the top slides quickly and easily to the side, and the contents of the bag become visible. There are only 2 things in the bag. One is a mask that looks like a Japanese inspired animal mask with the red stripes and beautiful carvings, and next to it is a letter. Should I open it? It's in my room so why not.
Hi Jack, that Caos who writes. We totally forgot to give you the last few details. Attached to the letter is a mask which, when you put it on, will create the illusion that you are much taller than you currently are. And it changes your hair color and eye color to black and red respectively. Think you would like to be able to keep your identity hidden. The other thing we forgot to tell you was how to use your new abilities. To use your healing abilities, you must have physical contact with a person, and first think "analysis" which will give you an insight into what diseases the person has, both physical and psychological. Then you choose what you want to heal, and think "heal" while you focus on what you want to fix. You can't just heal everything and everyone from the start, but with a little practice there's nothing you can't fix.
To be able to teleport, you must either have a trinket/tag where you want to teleport, or you must have an almost perfect picture of where you want to land. You can make "tags" by thinking about it, but remember that your tag must be made in a way and in a material that does not perish, so that the target is always whole. If you try to jump to a damaged target, you risk not making it all the way or you can't make the jump at all. I would personally suggest that you either engrave the tags into metal, or into people's skin as a tattoo.
To jump to one of your tags, just concentrate on it and want to be there. If you want to jump freely, you must be able to visualize that you are already where you want to land. If you don't focus enough, it will feel like you drank a lot before jumping off a chair. You can imagine how bad it can go.
You won't be able to jump around the world to begin with either, but I think it's something you would quickly get trained in 😉
I think that's all, good luck with your new life and remember to make a bit of chaos so we've had enough to laugh about up here.
p.s. the mask should look like a fox
P.P.S save this letter and we can write to you if it is otherwise reached.
See it explains quite a few things. Firstly. I HAVE A FOX MASK! How cool is that. Secondly, I now have a hundred new experiments to do. But it was breakfast I came from.
After a good breakfast where I got confirmation that I had been thrown directly back in time. It's December, I'm 6 years old, and I'm off school due to too much snow. This is perfect. Mother grumbles a bit before I run out into the snow and just manage to force myself into an old flight suit.
"Mom, I just want to go upstairs and play!" I huff angrily. huff? Damn I'm going through puberty again. It's going to be hell. "Yes, yes, it may well be, but I know you and your brother, you always find a way to get wet, cold or dirty, so you put it on" This came strictly from my mother.
I wonder?, now that she's got me anyway. "analysis".
5 serious diseases were found.
Severely injured ankle, sits crooked and causes great pain (being overweight makes it impossible to fix)
· Fluid in the knee after a fall due to a bad ankle. (cannot be cured at present)
· Incipient diabetes due to excess weight (can be fixed)
· Calcification of coronary arteries, high risk of blood clots. (can be removed)
· impaired vision due to incipient diabetes (can be fixed)
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
countless minor diseases found
· all diseases due to excess weight, fix it!
Overweight due to bad knee and ankle
Okay first I apparently have a list projected in front of me when I use analytics, luckily mom doesn't seem to be able to see the list. Secondly, the points on the list are really depressing. But I can do something about it.
"Heal Coronary Artery Calcification". Large amounts of energy gushed out of me as if I were a balloon that had popped. I went from being full of energy to standing and almost falling asleep. Damn it was hard, it will be a long time before I can fix everything. Let's see how it looks now "analysis".

Overweight due to bad knee and ankle
Why can I now fix the knee? Wait that makes sense if I fixed her knee while her heart wasn't doing well, I just ran the risk that the fluid would have given her a cardiac arrest if it got to the heart too fast. If I had the energy I'd get her knee fixed so maybe she'd start to lose some of that weight.
Well, I finally got away. Up in the attic with me and see what I can really do.
Damn…… I forgot that I can't reach the ladder when I'm so small. I guess there is no better basis for trying to make a jump than that I can't reach the ladder to get up. How was that chaos writing I did it? It was something about imagining that I was already there? It shouldn't be that difficult. I know the attic like the back of my hand. Let’s see 1…2….3… and ‘bang’…*slang*…. Crunch! “Aaaaaavvvvvv!” Let's see now there is an imprint of my head in one of the supporting wooden elements in the ceiling and I have a pounding headache and also think that something broke. But hey, I just have the ability to fix it. "analysis"
4 serious injuries were found.
· Violent concussion (can be fixed)
· Fractured skull, high priority fatal if not treated (can be fixed)
· 2 fractures on the left forearm (can be fixed)
· 2 loose kneecaps (can be fixed)
2 serious diseases were found
· Multiple allergies (can be fixed)
· Asthma, lungs suffer unnecessary stress due to multiple allergies (can be fixed)
Let's see, guess I'll have to fix that fractured skull before I die. ”he…heal fractured skull” damn it was hard to think with a fractured skull…….
Air! Damn I must have used the last bit of energy I had left in me to fix that skull fracture. Anyway, sitting on the floor and can't tell you what time it is anymore. 10:05 says the wrist watch, so there is still time to practice a little more. But first we have to see how it looks now. "analysis"

It appears that the concussion was also fixed at the same time. I can move my arm fairly well, so I can wait to fix it, so now we have to play with breaking all the rules of physics.
The jumping without a tag thing doesn't work very well for me right now, so the smart thing would probably be to tag something and then jump to it. A straw bale would probably be a good choice and there are plenty of them up here. Quiet now Jack, hand on the bale of straw and concentrate on making a new tag.
When I lifted my hand from the bale, I could see a small symbol that I can best describe as an image of a flash of light. It was fun, even though I've now taken a few steps away from the straw bale, I can still feel the tag. Then it was just a matter of concentrating on being next to the 'bang' mark and then I had to be there. Dam it was easy and it hardly drained me jumping the short distance. I'm going to have so much fun with this.
"FOOD!" it sounded shrill from the front door. "Is it lunch already" I asked myself as I checked my watch. 12:15 dam time goes by fast when you're having fun. "coming!" I shouted as I looked around and enjoyed the sight of all the tags carved into almost every surface of the ceiling. “This is so cool.”
After lunch I was completely ready again, so I decided to fix the arm "heal broken left forearm" I mumbled as I went down to the garden, under the excuse that I wanted to play in the snow, but really it was to practice free jumping .
It would end up taking me many months to practice both my control of my free jumps, but also my healing abilities. After 3 months of lots of crashes, and regular fixes by my family, and myself, I had finally managed to fix my family, and both my mother and father were getting fit, after a long conversation with their "very " worried son about their weight.
In addition to that, my records for jumps had grown drastically. I could freely jump from my parents' yard to the harbor in both Kalundborg and Holdbaek, both of which were located approx. 20 km away. But that's nothing for my tag guided hops. Got a tag smuggled on board a truck going to Berlin. After 3 days of waiting, I tried to jump to my tag, and before I could look around I was standing with a fresh donut in my hand in the middle of Berlin. I couldn't contain myself at all with energy, finally my plan could begin.
